Amber sighed to herself as she stood in front of the mirror. She examined her small bump that was starting to form. Amber smiled slighty. She hadnt spoken to Simom since she told him that she was pregnant. He had been avoiding her for the last three weeks that Amber had tried to contact him. She pulled her hair into a bun and sighed. The only people that knew that Amber was pregnant was Tom and Aimee. Aimee knew that her dad was responsilbe, that he was the one that had gotten her best friend pregnant and wouldnt step up which made Aimee Made. Amber sighed to her as she walked down to breakfast "your mum called" tom said as Amber froze and looked to him "did you tell her?" she asked as tom smiled and nodded "dad.." "shes your mum, she has a right to know. She wants to talk to you" "it wasnt up to you, to tell her. Im the one that is prengant so i should of been the one that told her" Amber said as Tom sighed "but you wouldnt tell her" "she left me, to and look after chlo and her baby. I needed her" Amber said as Tom smiled to her. He walekd over to her and hugged her "it will be okay, i promise" Tom said as she sighed to herself.
